add multiple IE shortcuts

[Adhyapika]

hello

Is there any way to add multiple IE shortcuts (same version) to one computer?

If so please someone can help me?

thank you

Please clarify your meaning:

[ul][li]Do mean a windows shortcut to the internet explorer program itself?[/li][li]Do you mean a link to some particular website?[/li][/ul]

Yes. I want to make multiple internet explorer shortcuts in my desktop.

How to do that?

Right click and select:

New > Shortcut

Use this as the location:

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

It should pick up the icon as well.
You can do this as many times as you need to (since you didn't say you needed to do this programatically with a script of some sort).

Once you have one shortcut on your desktop, you can simply right click on it, then drag & drop and select "copy".
Alternatively, left click select it, then use "Ctrl+C" and "Ctrl+V" to place a copy.

Would you mind explaining why you need (or want) to do this?

[Cheers]

As the others have pointed out, you can easily make hundreds of shortcuts to the Internet Explorer application; you could cover your desktop with these shortcuts, but what would be the point?

I can imagine the project requirements:

"Design and implement a mechanism that provide access to the Internet by double-clicking anywhere in the desktop"

Thankyou everyone.. Can I open different homepages with the multiple IE icon?

for eg: One IE should open with

http://www.google.com

and the other with

http://www.yahoo.com..

etc.. Is it possible to do this?


Thankyou once again

That's what I asked originally - you want links to different websites, not just shortcuts to the IE program.

 

[CorBlimeyLimey]

Just open IE and browse to the site you want to create a shortcut to, then simply drag and drop the icon (circled in red) in the address bar to your desktop. Repeat this for every site you need.

...but rather than clog up your desktop, why not just use the Favourites function?

Thankyou so much to all of you. I was just testing two applications on multiple IE windows.

I appreciate all of your help. Now I can do my work..
